Optional data set

EQQYPARM
Parameter file for specifying the INIT initialization statement. EQQYPARM must reference a sequential data set or a member of a partitioned data set whose logical record length is 80 bytes.

The //EQQYPARM DD * notation followed by INIT statements is not allowed and might cause a system X'0C4' abend.

Note:
  1. It is important that you also allocate the HCL Workload Automation for Z diagnostic data set, EQQDUMP. Debugging information is written to this data set, for example, HCL Workload Automation for Z control blocks and traces.
  2. If you plan to run PIF applications many times per day from a long-running non-TSO address space (for example, NetView®), to prevent a storage shortage do not specify the EQQYPARM ddname. Instead, specify the parameters either in the PIF application or in the controller INTFOPTS initialization statement. When you run a PIF application by specifying the EQQYPARM ddname, a TSO environment must be established each time and some of the resources remain allocated until the task ends. This might lead to a storage shortage, if the commands are issued many times.
